Frozen star Josh Gad, who voices the character Olaf in the much-loved movies, has addressed the possibility of a third instalment of the Disney animation.
The Oscar-winning film, which had a sequel in 2019, also features Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel voicing princesses Anna and Elsa.
Gad said: "Frozen 3 won't happen unless there’s a reason for Frozen 3 to exist.
"I trust this team with all my heart to believe that unless they have an amazing idea, there’s just no need.
"But I also know that the second they do have that idea, they’ll be the first ones to say 'let’s do it’. But right now, no Frozen 3."
Gad is now involved with a spin-off of shorts for Disney + called Olaf Presents.
The shorts are a retelling by the snowman of some of the best-loved Disney animations, including Aladdin, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid.
Olaf plays all of the parts in the recreations of the classics and Gad said it reminded him of reading to his children.
Gad said: "I love doing voices for my kids. I've been, for the past year plus, reading them the Harry Potter books from beginning to end.
"And I tried to bring them all to life not nearly as well as Jim Dale or, or any of the others who have who have brought them to life brilliantly, but I play all the characters, so for me it’s an absolute joy.
"Obviously this idea was based on this sequence in Frozen 2 where Olaf recaps the first Frozen.
"And there was something that just connected with people about that and specifically after the movie was released, and over the course of quarantine, I got a lot of requests from all over the world saying we would love Olaf to recap other films and the idea sort of stuck with us."
Speaking about the success of the film, Gad said: "I was kind of shocked and amazed, one, that the film was not only good, but was incredible. But two, that it connected with so many people in the way that it did.
"But I certainly never imagined the shelf life that this character and these characters would continue to have.
"And I think that there’s something just hopeful and optimistic about Olaf that connects with people.
"He’s a sort of a representation of glass half full at a time when it seems to be very easy to look at things with a glass half empty approach."
Disney + is releasing a large number of series on Friday November 12 including: Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, a new short from The Simpsons, the launch of Home Sweet Home Alone and the launch of Dwayne Johnson film Jungle Cruise for all subscribers.
All episodes of Olaf Presents will be available on Disney+ on Friday November 12.
